About Us

Cancer is undoubtedly a frightening term. But you don't have to feel alone when you are going through your diagnosis and treatment. Sentara Martha Jefferson is with you every step of the way.

In fact, patient care is not just one of our Cancer Care program's priorities—it is our sole priority. That is why the community turns to Sentara Martha Jefferson for cancer care. Our providers offer compassionate treatment couched within Sentara Martha Jefferson’s tradition of caring, never forgetting what is at the heart of any treatment—a person.

Our nurses are trained in oncology and infusion nursing and may administer chemotherapy, biological therapy or supportive blood transfusions for cancer, as well as various infusions for non-cancer patients. The nurses in the Infusion Center also specialize in teaching patients to care for themselves.
